"Traktor F1 is the powerful in the world of dj controllersm"

Overall:
The Traktor F1 is will change the way so may people dj. Controllerism - djing is fun and very creative, its not just about pushing buttons, You can use the f1 to fire off 1 shots, loops, phrase or complete songs, it is very responsive and goes hand and hand with Traktor S4 and S2 (I own the S2). Its very easy to learn all the functions, you will be remixing in little to no time even if you are a beginner. I also own Native instruments Maschine and you can sync Traktor 2.5 with Maschine or drag and drop lops and scenes from Maschine right into Traktor 2.5 software. I can see many future possibilities with the F1 and will probably add 1 more to my setup. If you ever wanted to get into doing or controllerism the Traktor F1 is definitely something you should consider.
